… and (not surprisingly)
Balkan Insights decides Serbia is partly to blame.
From Balkan Insights
Serbian-made arms, of a type previously sold by the state to a private company linked to a Serbian arms dealer blacklisted by the United States, have been used in renewed fighting between Azerbaijan and Armenia over the disputed region of Nagorno-Karabakh, BIRN can reveal.
On September 28, Azeri Defence, a defence industry magazine, published photographs of the remains of a missile that it said was fired by Armenian forces from BM-21 Grad rocket launchers at the Azeri city of Horadiz, just outside breakaway Nagorno-Karabakh.
A
marking that reads ‘KV 05/19’ indicates that the G-2000 long range rocket was
produced by the Serbian state-owned arms manufacturer Krusik, in the town of
Valjevo, in 2019. The marking ‘EDePro’ shows that the rocket motor was made by
another Serbian company, Belgrade-based EDePro.
“…of a type previously sold by the state to a private company linked to a Serbian arms dealer blacklisted by the United States …”
Not exactly the kind of statement a prosecutor would want in an opening address to a jury.
Just about every weapon and weapon system used by Azerbaijan and Armenia was built in and provided by Russia. Where are Balkan Insight’s stories concerning Russia arming two former USSR republics?
